THE Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) has been slapped with a M240 million lawsuit for failing to pay ground rent from as far back as 1991.
The Land Administration Authority (LAA) has petitioned the Land Court division of the High Court to order the LHDA to pay its outstanding ground rent amounting to M240 265 097.38 accrued from 1991 when the LHDA started occupying the land in question.
The LAA is a government body responsible for land administration and registration among other land related matters.
The LHDA is the implementing authority of the second phase of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP II).
